This song performed better than their two entries from 2003. I remembered this song a lot and was surprised to see that it didn't even make top 20 in radio.

ARRRGGHH!!! TWO top 10's lost just like that!!! :(
I am wondering how well placed were my rankings. I think I should have had Todd Agnew higher than Bebo and Joy. I suppose I prefer the duet slightly better right when I listened lol I hope Bebo Norman has many more songs for us to rank in future games, I just think he's too pretty ♥

This song won the tiebreaker over "Heart Cries Holy." This has a nice melody and is sung well. I wish this had done better in radio.

DEE12 - #21 @xfer - #23 fireflies - #37 dgarcia3377 - #44
I believe this is more of a 'grower' song. It takes a few listens to get into it. It's not bad, but it just kinda sits there for me. It easily got lapped by other songs and found its way near the back end.

This is well sung. I didn't know quite where to put it for my rankings though. I knew it would be somewhere in the middle. But, the 'no nostalgia' factor for this one brought it down a few pegs.

This is catchy and upbeat. Jaci performs this really well. It's one of my favorites from her. Jaci is nearing the end of her radio run though.

#31 - Come On Back to Me - Third Day
Total Points: 115 Hot Christian Songs: #21
dgarcia3377 - #4 fireflies - #31 @xfer - #37 DEE12 - #43
This is the second of three Third Day songs to leave us. I believe this is a good placement for the song. My favorite of the three has lasted the longest. This was a good tune for the group. I will gladly accept another perfect ranking!

So basically, the one who 'wins' Least Points, is the one who always was far from the results, right? lol About Third Day, I loved their album Come Together and the Southern Tracks EP. They have yet to impress me like that again :(

Come On Back To Me was one of my favorite discoveries from this rankdown. I'm also a fan of Matthew West, but The End is definitely not one of my favorites on there

#30 - The Beauty of Simplicity - Telecast
Total Points: 113 Hot Christian Songs: #11
@xfer - #6 dgarcia3377 - #11 fireflies - #46 DEE12 - #50
We seemed to be split on this song. We had two highs and two lows. For me, it seemed to stay on one level without ever reaching a real moment. While it didn't fully connect with me, I'm glad two of ya'll seemed to really like it.

#29 - When I Fall - Rachael Lampa
Total Points: 112 Hot Christian Songs: #17
dgarcia3377 - #3 @xfer - #28 DEE12 - #37 fireflies - #44
Rachael is a powerhouse vocalist. I enjoyed the verses much more than the chorus, which prompted a low ranking for this song. This did okay in radio but nothing too stellar.

@xfer - #14 fireflies - #19 dgarcia3377 - #36 DEE12 - #38
I like this band a lot. The lead vocalist's voice is so good. Of their two songs in this rankdown, I did prefer the other one more. This one still made my top 20 and I wish it could have gone a few notches higher.

fireflies - #20 DEE12 - #20 @xfer - #24 dgarcia3377 - #42
This is a great worship song. It was current and catchy and fit well within the youth group scene. I'm surprised this didn't go number 1 on radio. It had to have been close because this song dominated radio waves by lasting over 60 weeks on the chart!

#26 - Wonderful - Jump5
Total Points: 106 Hot Christian Songs: #16
fireflies - #10 DEE12 - #22 dgarcia3377 - #26 @xfer - #48
This group featured five teenagers and "Wonderful" became their only Christian radio hit. I loved it and wished they could have had more success in this genre. But, they were around for a while and had recorded many covers for Disney soundtracks such as "Lilo & Stitch", "Brother Bear", "Lizzie McGuire", "Beauty and the Beast", etc. They once opened for Aaron Carter.
Congrats to dgarcia3377 for having a perfect ranking!

DEE12 - #6 fireflies - #23 dgarcia3377 - #30 @xfer - #47
This song was the winner of the 3-way tie thanks to the #6 ranking we had. This is the first of two Bethany songs to leave us. I enjoy this song and it's leaving at about the right time as it should.

I love so many of Avalon's catalogue! This one isn't near the tops for me though. Radio never fully embraced this one and it signaled a decrease in their radio momentum going forward.

Up next is our first #1 ranked loss. Coincidentally, it's at #23. This is the same position as our first #1 ranked loss in 2003 as well.

#23 - You Raise Me Up - Selah
Total Points: 100 Hot Christian Songs: #2
DEE12 - #1 @xfer - #29 dgarcia3377- #35 fireflies - #35
Of the three vocalists, I really enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd one. The opening singer was alright but paled in comparison. The song itself is amazing. It is a cover of the well-known tune by Josh Groban. His version has been certified PLATINUM and made it to #73 on the Hot 100. Overall, I do prefer his version.
Sorry to DEE12 for your loss.

Our two cover songs are leaving back to back. Interesting! This song was a cover of the huge hit from Los Lonely Boys. Their version went GOLD and made it to #16 on the Hot 100. Overall, I prefer the version from Salvador.

This was my favorite discovery from this list of songs. I didn't remember the song at all. I thought it was very moving and I surprised myself at how high I ended up ranking it. But, it was that good. I'm glad radio was on board and that it performed well here!

Heaven was one of the songs I didn't remember until we did this rankdown. I thought the Salvador version was the one I remembered, but it was Los Lonely Boys that I really remember
